Dunkin’ Concocts Canadian Expansion Plan

Inspire Brands and Foodtastic are partnering on a master franchising agreement that will bring hundreds of Dunkin’ locations to Canada.

The first new unit could open as soon as later this year, with more details to come as development progresses.

Foodtastic will have exclusive rights to develop the Dunkin’ brand nationally through both corporate and franchise-operated locations. Foodtastic will manage market development, franchisee recruitment and operations in Canada.

“Bringing Dunkin’ back to Canada is a significant growth opportunity for Foodtastic and our franchise partners across the country,” says Peter Mammas, Foodtastic founder and CEO. “This agreement demonstrates the strength of our relationship with Inspire Brands and the confidence we have built together through our work with Jimmy John’s in Canada. We are committed to growing the Dunkin’ brand thoughtfully to meet the needs of Canadian guests and communities.”
